review 1: I really enjoyed this book. I've been a loyal Howard Stern fan since 1998 and this book was an interesting look into Gary's life. I felt the book was extremely well written and that I learned a lot about Gary even as someone who thought they "knew" him after listening religiously to Howard for so many years. The book had lots of great insights and made you laugh and cry at different times. I listened this the audiobook and loved that it was read by Gary and that it was different from your typical audiobook. Sometimes books about people's lives can leave you hanging at the end because their life is still a work in progress, but I felt the ending to be very satisfying and a sufficient wrap up to an excellent read. Whether you're a STern fan or not you'll enjoy this ... morebook!
review 2: The much ridiculed and harried radio producer Gary Dell'Abate tells his story here and it is a very nice book. Gary has a nice conversational style, often funny and occasionally moving. This is not just a chronicle of Stern stories, it is mostly composed of his life leading up to joining Howard and the gang at WN-N-N-N-N-BC and some personal stories afterwards. Any Stern fan knows that Gary can't have any privacy in his life, so Gary appropriately spills his guts here very honestly and without a need to sensationalize himself. He's just an average guy with a hard family life (the stories about his mother and brother are heartbreaking) whose dedication to work really paid off. This is a book that even non-Stern fans would enjoy, anyone should give it a shot. less
